Staff Backend Engineer (Slackbot AI, Slack)

Join the Slackbot team as a Staff Backend Engineer, where you'll play a key role in shaping the future of AI-powered work. You'll design, build, and own the systems and APIs that directly impact Slackbot's product experience. This role requires a collaborative engineer with a focus on simplicity and reliability in system design. You'll work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to create high-impact features, drive search and intelligence, and ensure operational excellence.

• Collaborer avec les chefs de produit, les designers et d'autres ingénieurs pour conceptualiser et construire de nouvelles fonctionnalités.
• Contribuer aux systèmes qui rendent Slackbot plus intelligent en matière de recherche et de surfacing de l'information.
• Assumer la responsabilité des fonctionnalités de l'équipe ou des systèmes centraux, en définissant leur santé à long terme et leur feuille de route.

• The ability to significantly contribute to technical architecture discussions and drive critical technical decisions across teams
• A track record of writing understandable, testable code with a strong focus on maintainability
• Proven experience with functional or imperative programming languages (e.g., PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, or C). Expertise in our stack—PHP/Hack, Java, MySQL, and Linux—is a strong plus, but general familiarity with other common web languages and relational databases is a fine substitute
• Experience building search infrastructure, large-scale APIs, or AI-powered systems is highly desirable
• 10+ years of professional experience building and shipping web applications with a focus on backend development
• Strong Communication Skills: You can clearly explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, including designers, support, and product managers
• Solid computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, programming languages, distributed systems, and information retrieval
